A GLIMPSE OF ETERNAL SNOWS: A Family's Journey of Love and Loss in Nepal
Non-Fiction (Memoir) 432 pages
Murdoch Books (Australia) - May 20, 2007
Life-affirming account of how a Cambridge medical doctor struggled to come to terms with her second child’s disability and how she and her husband fought to make his short life one worth living. Against much opposition from the medical establishment, they returned to Nepal, where they were involved in development work, and where the Nepalese people’s embrace of their ‘beautiful boy’ was in cheering contrast to the silence and embarrassment they had encountered back home.
'Jane writes beautifully and while her account of her son's life is very poignant, it is not in any way self-indulgent...In addition, Jane's huge love of Nepal, the people, the scenery, the culture and language is spell binding.' --Juliet Rogers, MD, Murdoch Books.
UK launch: June 2008.
